Core changes:
- The big change this time around is the irqchip handling in
the qualcomm pin controllers, closely coupled with the
gpiochip. This rework, in a classic fall-between-the-chairs
fashion has been sidestepped for too long. The Qualcomm
IRQchips using the SPMI and SSBI transport mechanisms have
been rewritten to use hierarchical irqchip. This creates
the base from which I intend to gradually pull support for
hierarchical irqchips into the gpiolib irqchip helpers to
cut down on duplicate code. We have too many hacks in the
kernel because people have been working around the missing
hierarchical irqchip for years, and once it was there,
noone understood it for a while. We are now slowly adapting
to using it. This is why this pull requests include changes
to MFD, SPMI, IRQchip core and some ARM Device Trees
pertaining to the Qualcomm chip family. Since Qualcomm have
so many chips and such large deployments it is paramount
that this platform gets this right, and now it (hopefully)
does.
- Core support for pull-up and pull-down configuration, also
from the device tree. When a simple GPIO chip support a
"off or on" pull-up or pull-down resistor, we provide a
way to set this up using machine descriptors or device tree.
If more elaborate control of pull up/down (such as
resistance shunt setting) is required, drivers should be
phased over to use pin control. We do not yet provide a
userspace ABI for this pull up-down setting but I suspect
the makers are going to ask for it soon enough. PCA953x
is the first user of this new API.
- The GPIO mockup driver has been revamped after some
discussion improving the IRQ simulator in the process.
The idea is to make it possible to use the mockup for
both testing and virtual prototyping, e.g. when you do
not yet have a GPIO expander to play with but really
want to get something to develop code around before
hardware is available. It's neat. The blackbox testing
usecase is currently making its way into kernelci.
- ACPI GPIO core preserves non direction flags when updating
flags.
- A new device core helper for devm_platform_ioremap_resource()
is funneled through the GPIO tree with Greg's ACK.
New drivers:
- TQ-Systems QTMX86 GPIO controllers (using port-mapped
I/O)
- Gateworks PLD GPIO driver (vaccumed up from OpenWrt)
- AMD G-Series PCH (Platform Controller Hub) GPIO driver.
- Fintek F81804 & F81966 subvariants.
- PCA953x now supports NXP PCAL6416.
Driver improvements:
- IRQ support on the Nintendo Wii (Hollywood) GPIO.
- get_direction() support for the MVEBU driver.
- Set the right output level on SAMA5D2.
- Drop the unused irq trigger setting on the Spreadtrum
driver.
- Wakeup support for PCA953x.
- A slew of cleanups in the various Intel drivers.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
